Y'all signed up for this shit when you bought into digital products. No amount of warning you could make it to your dumb fuck brains. You're also still doing this shit with other services and products. We're all being strategically boxed into a fucking cage you refuse to acknowledge because you want things so much it shuts your brain off.
Yeah, I've tried to warn people about Steam account dependence, but they're somehow super-diehard over those while poking fun at Sony. There isn't even any beneficiary system in place. Each is just a step away from being like the other... Nothing beats owning your own data.
Steam is fine, for now, but will eventually do the same shit once gabr is dead and the business side takes over everything. But that's the trap, make conversation to a digital way of life appealing enough to starve the alternative to death, then tighten the noose.
Steam is fine for you maybe, I am incensed to find out they have been engaging in price fixing and driving the price of PC games up and preventing meaningful competition. It is complete bullshit and after seeing Gabe and his underlings lie through their teeth I have zero faith in them.
But they aren't and it's ridiculous you spout propaganda talking points constructed by competitors of steam that can't compete. Of all the monopolistic companies, steam is one that is least shit, and until the government gives a shit about monopolies in general, I'll be grateful for the ones that aren't total assholes, like nvidea and micron and Microsoft and Google and all the rest that are ignored by antitrust rules.
What are you talking about? Go read the court transcripts. It is fucking obvious they are lying when confronted with evidence from their own emails. Why would you insist on carrying water for them!?
There has not to my knowledge ever been a mass produced analog console playing analog games.
Deck of cards?
I love lemmy. Not even reddit is this toxic.
It's always your fault! Never the precious billion dollar company!
The will of the consumer masses enable all of this. Make the damned sacrifice and stop giving them your fucking money.
CDs and DVDs are digital. Game cartridges are digital. I am not sure you know what digital means.
Are you sure you even know what digital means!?

This machine is digital....
What an excellent way to convince aging gamers to just never buy from Sony again.
Yup, although I haven't purchased a Sony product in over a decade because they started charging a monthly fee for online services I got free on PC. Funny because I was a fanboy like no other during the console wars.
I was considering buying one for GTA VI. I'll wait for the PC release, thanks.
Huh. That's actually a little disappointing. I have a couple of exclusives on there that I would prefer not to lose. But I also no longer own any modern PlayStation consoles, nor am I likely to in the future. So trying to decide if this is going to be the thing that makes me leave Sony for good, or if I should just make a little effort to login from time to time.
I wonder if logging into the app on your phone would take care of that requirement.
Yes.
Reminds me, I have an old ps3 with a broken disc drive in need of being jailbroken. I should get on that.
Super straightforward. Best thing you can do. Load a usb drive with ISOs and you are set. Its the best homebrew/emulation console you could hope for. If your disc drive was working it would be the cheapest bluray player you could hope for
i bought portal2 when it came out on ps3.... it also let me set up a steam account through my ps3, because that was going to be the next big thing (this was before ps+ and multiplayer was still free)
12 years later i got a PC, i downloaded steam.... and when i logged in, there was portal2 waiting for me to download it.
sony can go fuck themselves

My decade old Sony boycott looks more & more prescient every week.
I should've listened to the haters. I got way too leveraged into Sony's ecosystem and so now I suffer.
The good is I still have enough PC games that I actually own (well, control) to last me for years and years and years.
The last good product Sony made was the Walkman.
Trinitron, Vaio, Mini-Discs, Cybershots, FF/ASPC Cameras, WH-1000X headphones. They have had some decent stuff, less so recently.
You will eat nothing and you will be happy
Time to take your ps5 offline. Obligatory fuck Sony
Unfortunately, taking it offline also won't work, because iirc games stop working if the console hasn't been online in a month.
The check in requirement turned out to only be for the first two weeks after buying a game, so you can't refund the game and keep playing it offline forever.
"How do we squander 3 decades of consumer goodwill in a week and a half?" Seriously wtf are you doing Sony
'We need to replicate the success of Betamax and minidisc, immediately' - exec that was never told.
Good. Fuck everyone and everything.
